Description Marc Khouzam CLA 2011-12-06 12:25:00 EST 
A nice suggestion from Pascal Rapicault at the Eclipse Demo Camp in Montreal:

Allow for a breakpoint action that will enable the recording for reverse debugging.  That way, a user can set a breakpoint a little before the bug occurs and set the bp to enable reverse debugging.

This is valuable because enabling recording from the start often affects performance much too much; instead it is recommended to only turn on reverse once in the vicinity of the bug.

Thanks for the udpate.  I committed it to master.

Can you update the N&N with this new feature?
